Our club newsletter is provided to members by email (posted copies only if the member has no internet access). It includes feature articles of interest to Golden Retriever owners, member achievements and details of club events. The newsletter along with occasional emails provide the main link between the club and members. This website is also an important source of information for the public and club members. It includes a wealth of information on the Golden Retriever and the club, including photos and results of past club events. New members and visitors are welcome to attend our general meetings. Details of the date and venue of these meetings are published in the newsletter.
